A successor to the dichotomy of causation and correlation that expresses the positive-normative dichotomy in terms of time itself.
The possible-contingent dichotomy argues that there are only two categories of observation: possible and acausal.
Time emerges to become the only contingency; making it the foundation of acausality.

Get the possible-contingent dichotomy mug.A fact that a bunch of other stuff hinges upon. If true, it makes lots of causally related stuff likely true and if not true, then related stuff is likely false. For example, the fact that the climate is getting warmer is a contingent factor for global warming, or the fact that the world is actually getting better, and is better than it ever has been (see Stephen Pinker, "The Better Angels of our Nature"), even though it feels day to day like a stinking pile of diseased flabby fat rolls, is a continent factor that global trade is not evil.
Being caught red handed creeping with the girl next door is a contingent factor that you cheated; it was you.

Get the continuence mug.I don't believe that. I think what people are trying to do is link me to that retard in such a way that...
Hym "How I'm perceived is contingent upon how I spoke about the retard as a form of karmic retribution. You're not directing the rhetoric at me because it's concordant with truth. Your saying about me because you want there to be some form of retribution for someone you have more sympathy for than me. That's why we get all of the asymmetrical motivational policing. You'd be quick to say that I'm motivated by attention seeking or profit motives or fame but I can just as easily point the spotlight to your motivations or claim that you're projecting. It isn't productive and what I would or have posited is likely more consistent with truth than the claim that I did THIS so that everyone would love me and throw money and women at me and carry me around on a Xerxes throne."
